A novice cupid needs to help a girl and a ghost fulfil their romantic destiny after he mistakenly ties one end of the red string to the wrong boy.  

*****

What happens when your soulmate dies before you've even met him? 

The bookish Gemma Yang gets her shot at finding true love when novice faerie Jun is assigned to her case by the God of Marriage. All Jun has to do is one simple thing - tie the invisible red string of fate to the wrist of Gemma and her designated soulmate, the popular Hayden Chung, and let destiny work its magic. However, in a case of mistaken identity, he bungles things up by tying the string to the geeky Takahashi Ryu instead. To make matters worse, Ryu ends up being knocked down by a reckless driver outside the university campus minutes later - and dies. With this massive hot potato in his hands, Jun embarks on a mission to cover up for his mistake and return things to the way they should be - but things rarely go as planned, or do they?

87 parts Complete Mature
Xie Yi-Jun; the King of Hei'an City, is a statue. Of course, he wasn't ALWAYS this way! And the curse itself, cast by the snake demon; Su Lan, can indeed be broken! This is good news... bad news? The only one who can break the spell is the King's soulmate; Jin Songcai. Who as it happens, is dead. Fast-forward about 700 years, and the forest where Xie Yi-jun was first turned to stone has become a bustling city. The old man on the corner tells the legend; that only The Stone King's true love can awaken him. Children, travelers, everyone goes to try it out, laughing at the old man's tale- Wen Reian, a young apprentice visiting the city has all eyes on him suddenly, as it seems The Stone King has been finally released! By him?! No, surely not... unless- Could Reian be the reincarnation of the King's first love; the infamous Jin Songcai? Thrown together by the fates, Xie Yi-jun and Wen Reian begin their journey together; the King mourning the loss of his family and Kingdom, while making startling connections between his lost lover and this young stranger... Wen Reian? Well, setting aside the fact that he's suddenly developing healing-powers out of no where, there's also his blatant and rather frustrating attraction to Xie Yi-jun that's getting in his way. But there's no way he's Jin Songcai. Hmmph, best to just ignore it... Unfortunately, whether they want to know or not, the questions still remain; Is Xie Yi-jun only destined for failure at the hands of his ancient enemy? Will Wen Reian ever realize the scope of his natural power?! And are they truly soulmates, or is there something else going on that could threaten to tear them apart forever? ** novel also posted on AO3 and Royal Road under the username palendrome_girl **

58 parts Complete Mature
When a cupid is tasked with setting up the woman he has feelings for, he decides instead to sabotage her matches while he uncovers why the Fates are targeting her. ***** Supernatural forces have secretly decided human destiny for centuries. Both the Fates and inhuman criminal cartels have used cupids and their powers of manipulation to control love and desire. But Declan is a rarity: a full-blooded cupid who freelances for both sides. Gifted with an extraordinary ability to sense human desire, he wields his powers to match couples, break them up, and even drive people to madness. Love is his business, but he's seen how it can destroy lives and is determined not to fall himself. When Declan receives his next assignment, the target is the last person he ever expected: his sassy neighbor and laundry-room companion, Bree Logan--the one girl in the world that he secretly wants for himself. Declan doesn't want to set her up with the love of her life, but he knows if he turns down the job, someone else will. He decides on a third option: take the assignment and sabotage her matches. The Fates may have a plan for her--but he's got one of his own. --------- ✓ Completed: September 10th, 2024 © All Rights Reserved ⚠️ Trigger Warning: Contains adult language, explicit sex (consensual), physical violence, drug use (marijuana), and alcohol consumption.
